[15:39:09 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> Hey dan, is there anyway to ignore a changeset? Archna has a changeset issue wehre external person the student_type_code already exists. I'm trying to reply, but I"m thinking if she drops the column the view will have to go too and she will have to redo it. Is there any other way?
[15:40:41 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> im walking her through it
[15:40:42 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> Hey thanks Tony. I forgot that is how I did it awhile back.
[15:41:09 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> yeah, in reality there should be a precondition to check if the column exists before it tries to drop it, ive been stuck in this trap myself
[15:41:33 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> I believe dan said no on the precondition, but you'd have to check with him.
[15:41:41 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> oh?
[15:42:27 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> Something that it doesn't work properly and would be nice otherwise.
[15:42:58 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> why would the column have ended up in there in the 1st place?
[15:43:03 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> for a real deployment
[15:43:13 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> well he had moved the script
[15:43:22 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> to the integration changesets
[15:43:30 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> so for folks who ran the old one
[15:43:36 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> they will be stuck in that state
[15:43:39 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> but for new envs
[15:43:44 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> I believe it wouldn't be an issue
[15:44:01 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> if it's just happening b/c of a transient bug that only affects devs i voted to keep the changeset/s simple and let devs delete the column themselves if they already had it. b/c we're experts. right.
[15:44:56 CDT(-0500)] <tbain> hear hear!
[15:45:01 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> Can we get some quotes around "experts"
[15:47:21 CDT(-0500)] <js70> 4 years ago I couldn't spell developer now I are one.
[15:47:55 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> lol
[15:51:23 CDT(-0500)] <js70> it was funnier back when I was a metallurgist
[15:54:09 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> Metallurgist, sweet. do you know much about making samurai swords or prosthetic metal legs?
[16:58:05 CDT(-0500)] <tbain> You should have answered him when you had the chance js70....
[16:58:38 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> I don't know how those two go together?!? Maybe if you get the samurai sword and chop your leg off??
[16:59:33 CDT(-0500)] <js70> i'd pay to watch
[17:00:12 CDT(-0500)] <js70> I can recommend both a good samari sword maker and a top notch maker of prosthetics
[17:00:21 CDT(-0500)] <js70> it your determined
[17:00:27 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> No, you'd be paid to make the sword, then paid to make the prosthetic! Win, win for you.
[17:00:38 CDT(-0500)] <js70> :^)
[17:01:00 CDT(-0500)] <js70> if its green it can't be mean
[17:01:17 CDT(-0500)] <pspaude> Haha, haven't heard that one in awhile.
